The British University in Dubai (BUiD), a leading research-based university, will be launching post graduate diplomas and certificates for the September 2011 intake.

The new diplomas and certificates are for their business, engineering & IT and education programmes and will be announced at BUiD’s Open Days that are being held in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman.

The Dubai Open days will be held on June 22, June 28 at BUiD auditorium in Dubai International Academic City.

Sharjah Open day will be held on June 25 at Radisson Blu hotel and Ajman Open Day is to be held on June 27 at Ajman Chamber of Commerce. Open days will start from 2 pm and finish by 9 pm.

“BUiD’s post-graduate diplomas and certificates awards provide students, who are looking for short term accredited academic and professional development options without the substantial demand of the Masters dissertation,” says Prof Abdullah Alshamsi, vice-chancellor of BUiD.

“BUiD’s links with its leading UK associated universities such as Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh and King’s College London; enhance the quality of the accredited professional development programmes we offer at the University” he added.

Martin Prince, BUiD’s registrar, said: “BUiD’s Open days are a great opportunity for people to come and meet with Academic staff to explore course details, entry requirements and research interests and also to gauge if the programmes on offer can meet individual’s training needs.”

The deadline for BUiD’s scholarships is August 15, and only students holding confirmed offers to study at BUiD can apply for scholarships, a statement said.

“BUiD offers over 100 scholarships and students who are interested in enrolling at BUiD must apply early for its programmes and be sure to put in their applications for scholarships in time,” added Prince. – TradeArabia News Service
